Ghostbusters video game gets a release date

If you've played the first Ghostbusters game on the original NES, you may recall driving around in a white box meant to represent the Ghostbusters' Ecto-1, and disappointment that the game didn't live up to the movie.

image not available

They say laughter is always the best remedy, no matter the situation. Life is Beautiful, Roberto Benigni's Oscar-winning drama, made light of one of the worst atrocities the world has ever seen. Juno, Paste's 2007 movie of the year, was a smart-as-a-whip comedy about teenage pregnancy, a subject nobody finds particularly funny.

Wish him luck....  read more

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."And here we thought that House was going to be the best treatment of Sherlock Holmes that we would ever see. If it were somehow possible to harvest the kinetic energy of a Victorian author turning in their grave because their work was being adapted into modern media, then we could stick a conduit into Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's coffin and tell Al Gore to quit campaigning for renewable energy.
